Food for Thought: Hello, hello, is anybody there?
http://bonnysfood4thought.blogspot.com/2014/07/hello-hello-is-anybody-there_15.html
Nourishing Ideas for Nonprofits. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Hello, hello, is anybody there? A recent interview in the New York Times was with David Ossip, the C.E.O. of Ceridian, a human resources and payroll firm. In it he discusses the use of e-mails vs. phone calls or direct contact. Since this is one of my pet peeves too I thought I would share his comments. Ask yourself why you use email rather than directly communicating with someone. Are you afraid? Are you really that busy? Move the ball forward.

Nourishing Ideas for Nonprofits. Tuesday, December 9, 2014. NONPROFIT LIFE CYCLES - HYPE OR REALITY? Lots of the literature now asks you to consider where your organization is in its “life cycle”. Some of the diagrams and descriptions are so dense they give me a headache and my eyes glaze over. Why should an organization not have a life cycle of its own? There are many moving parts and they don’t all remain in alignment as an agency grows and matures. There are 6 essential stages in any organization.

Food for Thought: Let’s not and say we did- or why write a strategic plan if you’re not going to implement it.
http://bonnysfood4thought.blogspot.com/2013/12/lets-not-and-say-we-did-or-why-write.html
Nourishing Ideas for Nonprofits. Thursday, December 19, 2013. Let’s not and say we did- or why write a strategic plan if you’re not going to implement it. There is a ton of information out there about strategic planning for anyone who spends five minutes on the internet.

How will you set priorities? Think about putting y...

Nourishing Ideas for Nonprofits. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Donors Have Changed, Have You? We read all the time about changes in giving. Although the. Reports that total giving has diminished very little over the past 5-10 years, many nonprofits have seen their donations suffer a decline. The recession began in 2008.
